While Easter Sunday — also called Resurrection Sunday — is a major holiday in the Christian faith, for many believers, the week leading up to it also holds great spiritual significance.

Known as Holy Week, it begins with Palm Sunday, which commemorates Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, and culminates with Easter Sunday, when He rose from the dead.

In between the two Sundays are other dates of significance. These include Maundy Thursday, which commemorates Jesus' Last Supper before He was arrested; Good Friday, which commemorates His crucifixion; and Holy Saturday, which is a time of waiting for the Resurrection.

Here are seven thought-provoking hymns for Holy Week.
